+### Added
+
+- Every delegate now starts with `PI_UNATTENDED=1` in its environment, a
+  general signal that no human is watching the session. Delegates run as a
+  full TUI, so extensions that open a dialog, such as a handoff gate or an
+  approval prompt, waited on nobody and stalled the delegate; they can read
+  this variable to skip the dialog instead. The test that pins the child's
+  exact environment now includes it.
